Invisible... Things! (glitch)

Hattorifaith · 03-30-2012, 03:21 PM

It seems that a certain effect isn't rendering for me, making some platforms and hazards in the game entirely invisible. The first instance for me is Over The Rainbow, pictured here:

The second one - and the farthest I can ever get in the game before this is resolved is Wind or Lose, where the hazards near the end of the level are also invisible entirely.

Does anyone else have this glitch? I have verified my cache, and gotten the most recent drivers.

Does no one else experience this bug? Please respond.

I have same problem.

I have the same, is there any fix coming? The Piping Hot level is totally unplayable with this.

Have you tried verifying the game cache?

I don't have this issue, looks like something is missing in your game files.

Long shot guess here, but do you have either AF or AA forced at a global level in your video card drivers? If so try restoring your global profile to defaults.

Even though the game is 2D, it actually still uses 3D rendering. Basically all the 2D elements you see are textures rendered on single plane polys. So anything that messes with texture rendering (like AF) is a potential culprit.

I haven't bought the game because in the demo the flames coming out of the pipes were invisible.

If anyone ever figures out the invisible graphics I'll get it.

I get the exact same problem. I'm assuming it's going to be unplayable at some point because of this. Something should probably be done.

Is anyone else still seeing this? Any known workarounds? I have not forced any video card settings, as warned against in post #7.
